None of the people in contention are probably even in the top 1% of the most capable people of running the country. And none of the people running for the top of the ticket are either.
Yeah, they have to be more capable than Palin. But that just means being in the 50th percentile.
Picking someone who can represent the views and have the support of Black America and Women is the right thing to do right now. There are plenty of qualified people who can fill that role.
